I... am awake. That's bad enough.
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Also, fie on Hec's work. I've been there, and it fucking sucks. It sucks more when the 12+ hour days are due to other people's incompetance, because of the rage.

What is even happening?
Emily, are you flying out, today?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Here's the thing: when people don't respond to voice-mail messages, or to repeated e-mails, then I assume they're pissed at me and hoping I'll take a hint from their pointed ignoring of me.
And since I don't know what I could have done to piss these particular people off, it's driving me batshit, and I'm likely to say FUCK OFF to them the next time they actually get in touch with me.
[Note: it's not anyone here; I wouldn't be that passive-aggressively tacky.]
It's possible, of course, that I'm insane and overreacting. (Me? Overreact? Surely not!) And yet, I'm feeling all HULK SMASH towards about 3 people right now. I haven't done anything really offensive in a LONG time -- I have no idea why people are avoiding me.
It's like I've been MARCIE'd by life.

That's how I feel, so you're not alone. I have had people actually tell me, "I was hoping you'd get the hint!" So a perky "Fuck you!" is often the best response.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Of course they could be me ...and forget to respond- or not yet have the right answer- so there is no response yet. But OTH , if you greeted me with a hardy FUCK YOU i would know why...

"Either it's murder, or this library has a very strict overdue policy."
ABC's retread/remake/update of The Night Stalker has a young hip guy as Karl Kolchak.
Perhaps it's not a remake, but a Young Kolchak? Okay, so that makes it even more wrong but still, they could have thought about Kolchak as a teenager who drives around in a van with his friends and dog.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
